Revolutionary audio and MIDI sequencer
Audio sequencers, also known as DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), were traditionally programs that were hard to handle for average users, due to the need to include the maximum amount of features possible and specially, to offer the best sound quality. That was until Ableton Live was launched.
Live will inspire you.

Two working modes to enhance your creativity
If you're focused on live gigs, all you need is Session, also known as Clips view. It's a non-linear mode in which you'll be able to record and play your ideas immediately in the order of your choice, a very flexible way to compose with absolute freedom and improvisation.
Do you want to transfer all that workflow to a traditional project based on a timeline? Press the record button and register all the activity in real-time thanks to the Arrangement view. It's the traditional way to work with audio sequencers, with the tracks divided vertically and the timeline to distribute the events.
With Ableton Live you'll be able to combine both working methods to complete a music composing process which is unique to the date, offering extraordinary possibilities. Create music in a creative and intuitive way, combining improvisation with set guidelines.
